Finger-proof connector

Abstract

The present invention relates to a finger-proof connector, comprising an insulating shell and a conductor, wherein the insulating shell has a cavity with an opening at one end, and the conductor has a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion, wherein the first conductive portion of the conductor is located within the cavity of the insulating shell, and the second conductive portion of the conductor is located outside the insulating shell. The connector is characterized in that an insulating component extending toward the opening of the cavity is provided within the cavity of the insulating shell, and the insulating component extends to the front of the first conductive portion of the conductor. By forming an insulating component extending to the front of the first end of the conductor within the insulating shell, if an operator accidentally inserts a finger into the insulating shell of the connector, the insulating component will first block the finger from continuing to insert into the cavity of the insulating shell, thereby preventing the finger from contacting the conductor within the insulating shell, thereby preventing the operator's finger from being electrocuted and achieving safe operation during the electrical connection process.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of connectors, and in particular to a connector that is finger-touch resistant. Background Art

[0002] Connectors, common components in the power industry, come in a variety of structural forms. They typically consist of an insulating housing and a conductive body within the housing, with pins located outside the housing. During use, a plug is inserted into the connector's insulating housing, establishing electrical contact between the plug and the conductive body, achieving a proper electrical connection.

[0003] When operators use connectors to make electrical connections, if they are not careful enough, it is very easy for their fingers to touch the conductor inside the insulating shell, causing electric shock to their fingers, which seriously threatens the health of the operators and is not conducive to safe operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a finger-proof connector for the above-mentioned prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a finger-proof connector, comprising:

[0006] An insulating housing having a cavity with an open end;

[0007] The conductor has a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion, wherein the first conductive portion of the conductor is located in the cavity of the insulating shell, and the second conductive portion of the conductor is located outside the insulating shell;

[0008] It is characterized in that an insulating component extending toward the opening direction of the cavity is provided in the cavity of the insulating shell, and the insulating component extends to the front of the first conductive part of the conductor.

[0009] By forming an insulating component in the insulating shell that extends to the front of the head end of the conductor, when the operator accidentally inserts his finger into the insulating shell of the connector, the insulating component will first block the finger from continuing to insert into the inner side of the cavity of the insulating shell, avoiding the finger from contacting the conductor in the insulating shell, thereby preventing the operator's finger from being electrocuted and achieving safe operation during the electrical connection process.

[0010] Of course, specifically with respect to the arrangement of the insulating component in the insulating housing, in the finger-proof connector of this invention, the insulating component is a protrusion extending in the horizontal direction, and the horizontal plane where the insulating component is located is higher than the horizontal plane where the first conductive part is located.

[0011] In addition, in the finger-proof connector, the conductor includes:

[0012] A transverse portion having a middle slot, the transverse portion being the first conductive portion;

[0013] The vertical portion is connected to the horizontal portion, and the vertical portion is formed with a pin located outside the cavity of the insulating shell, and the pin is the second conductive portion.

[0014] To enhance the firmness of the insulating component when installed within the insulating housing, the finger-proof connector can also be configured such that the insulating component passes through the central slot and divides the transverse portion into a left conductor portion located on the left side of the insulating component and a right conductor portion located on the right side of the insulating component. As a structure for assembling the conductor within the insulating housing, the back of the insulating housing is formed with a first opening for the left conductor portion to pass through the cavity, and a second opening for the right conductor portion to pass through the cavity.

[0015] Of course, in order to improve processing efficiency, in the finger-proof connector, the insulating component is integrally formed on the inner surface of the insulating housing cavity. The insulating component can be a rectangular parallelepiped or other shapes.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the present invention is that: by forming an insulating component in the insulating shell that extends to the front of the head end of the conductor, when the operator accidentally inserts his finger into the insulating shell of the connector, the insulating component will first block the finger from continuing to insert into the inner side of the cavity of the insulating shell, thereby preventing the finger from contacting the conductor in the insulating shell, thereby preventing the operator's finger from being electrocuted and achieving safe operation during the electrical connection process.

[0024] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a connector assembly formed by three finger-proof connectors. Specifically, any one of the finger-proof connectors in the connector assembly includes an insulating shell 1 and a conductor 2. The insulating shell 1 has a cavity 10 with an opening at one end, and the opening is used for a plug to enter and be inserted into the cavity 10. The back of the insulating shell 1 is formed with a first opening 11 and a second opening 12. Of course, the first opening 11 and the second opening 12 here can also be interconnected to be designed in the form of a hole; the conductor 2 has a first conductive part 21 and a second conductive part 22. The first conductive part 21 of the conductor 2 is located in the cavity 10 of the insulating shell, and the second conductive part 22 of the conductor 2 is located outside the insulating shell 1. Specifically, see Figures 2-4 As shown, the conductor 2 includes a transverse portion having a middle slot 210 and a vertical portion connected to the transverse portion, the transverse portion being the first conductive portion 21, and the vertical portion being formed with a pin 221 located outside the cavity 10 of the insulating housing 1, the pin 221 being the second conductive portion;

[0026] An insulating component 3 extending toward the opening of the cavity 10 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the cavity 10 of the insulating housing 1. The insulating component 3 of the insulating housing extends to the front of the first conductive portion 21 of the conductor 2. Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown. The insulating component 3 passes through the middle slot 210 and divides the horizontal part into a left conductor part 211 located on the left side of the insulating component 3 and a right conductor part 212 located on the right side of the insulating component 3. During the assembly process, the left conductor part 211 of the horizontal part passes through the first opening 11 into the cavity 10 of the insulating shell, and the right conductor part 212 of the horizontal part passes through the second opening 12 into the cavity 10 of the insulating shell, thereby enhancing the firmness of the conductor 2 when it is set in the insulating shell 1. The insulating component 3 here is a protrusion extending in the horizontal direction, and the protrusion can be a rectangular parallelepiped with one side wall connected to the inner side wall of the insulating shell; of course, the insulating component 3 can also be designed into other shapes as needed, and the horizontal plane where the insulating component 3 is located is higher than the horizontal plane where the first conductive part 21 is located.

[0027] See also Figure 5 , which shows a schematic diagram of the state when the plug is inserted into the connector in the normal operating state. Figure 6and Figure 7 As shown, by forming an insulating component 3 extending to the front of the head end of the conductor 2 in the insulating shell 1, when the operator accidentally inserts the finger 4 into the insulating shell 1 of the connector, the insulating component 3 will first block the finger 4 from continuing to insert into the cavity 10 of the insulating shell 1, thereby preventing the finger 4 from contacting the conductor 2 in the insulating shell 1, thereby preventing the operator's finger from being electrocuted and achieving safe operation during the electrical connection process.
